Lauryn Hill faces federal tax charges

Ready or not, eight-time Grammy winner Lauryn Hill is facing federal tax charges. On the heels of a “disappointing” performance at Cape Town Jazz Festival in March and fourteen years after her widely successful album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, the Internal Revenue Service is teaching the reclusive singer the importance of filing taxes.

Hill has been charged of failing to file three years of income-tax returns. If found guilty, she chould face up to three years in prison and a $300,000 fine.

The 37-year-old South Orange, New Jersey, resident is scheduled to appear before a federal magistrate on June 29.
